A/n: I've gotten such nice reviews.. *tear* I don't deserve that.. Well,
thanks all! I really appreciate the nice comments.
The day wasn't a total loss. Sure, she'd kind of ruined it with Frodo, but Pippin and Merry seemed to be fascinated with her. She spent most of the day with them and explored the Shire. She enjoyed them because they made her laugh, even when they ddin't mean to.
As it was getting into the evening, Erin decided to go back to the little house she'd woken up in. In her room she saw a dress layed out for her. Grinning, she quickly changed into it, but kept her shoes on because, after all, she wasn't a hobbit. She pulled her hair back in a ponytail and ran outside.
It was dark out now. Time for the party. Erin couldnt help but smile.. she knew exactly what was going to happen, and when. She ran down to join the crowd with a big grin on her face.
The party was fun. There was music and Erin even got the chance to dance with the hobbits. It was wonderful. For the first time, she felt like she was really at home. She enjoyed the fireworks and watched as Merry and Pippin took one of the fireworks.
"The big one!" A soft voice said. Erin crept closer to watch. She couldn't miss this.
She waited for them to say,"It is in the ground!" before she'd go. She didn't really want to get caught..
Too late. The firework was set off and Erin fell to the ground. She'd been too close. The dragon firework was fantastic to watch.
"Oh wow!" Erin said, her eyes shining as she watched it. She saw Gandalf coming up and grabbing them up by the ears, just as she sat up. She giggled and mouthed the words he was saying to them. Then she covered her mouth, for Gandalf was giving her a very peculiar look. She scrambled off and ran back to the party.
Since Pippin and Merry were off doing dishes, Erin decided she should try talking to Frodo again. She sat down next to him. He didn't seem to notice.
"Hi."She said quietly.
"Hello." He said, glancing over at her.
"Nice party.." She said,unable to meet those amazing eyes..
"Yes it is. Half the Shire was invited." Erin simply nodded in reply and turned her gaze to Bilbo, who was standing before everyone looking nervous. She knew why, of course. When he started talking, she waited for his famous line and couldn't help mouthing the words along with him. Mistake. She looked over and saw that once again, Gandalf was watching her and this time he was frowning. Then he turned his attention back to Bilbo. Erin looked back in time to see him disappear. quickly turned around to watch the reactions of teh hobits. Frodo was blinking, disbelieving. Most of them had a shocked look on their faces.
Erin stood up and left the party early. She was dieing to go up to Bag End and spy but.. she couldn't do that. So she went back to the house she was staying in and fell asleep.
